Trump's Afghanistan withdrawal announcement takes US officials by surprise
Donald Trump has announced on Twitter that he wants to bring all US troops home from Afghanistan by Christmas
They suggested the president’s claim was aimed at shifting the news cycle away from coronavirus coverage and that the Pentagon would not act on the order before the 3 November US election.

It is no longer collecting revenue. That's good enough for my checking account.
And I guess good enough to make a false attribution.
Sec. 2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) and the heads of all other executive departments and agencies (agencies) with authorities and responsibilities under the Act shall exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications.
If you don’t have coverage during 2019, the fee no longer applies. You don’t need an exemption in order to avoid the penalty.

December 2017
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the mandate was constitutional in 2012, but in December 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which eliminated the individual mandate penalty, effective January 1, 2019.

The 2-1 decision by the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals likely pushes any Supreme Court action on Obamacare until after the 2020 election but again thrusts the issue of health care into the forefront of the campaign -- and extends the uncertainty surrounding the future of the landmark law, long a political target for President Donald Trump and other Republicans.
The challenge was brought by Texas and a coalition of Republican states after a failed 2017 congressional repeal effort, then later joined by the Trump administration -- which, in a dramatic reversal from its earlier position, argued the entire law should be thrown out. "Let the courts do their job," Attorney General William Barr told Congress earlier this year. Try looking things up before you post.
